commented on Should I give up my Rolex dreams to buy a motorcycle to ride with my wife. But then have to settle and get a Tudor instead? ·

commented on Rolex Prices too high? ·

Depends what you compare it with, as well as what are you looking for in a timepiece. If you're looking for fancy out of the box movement tech or new ideas & the best movement decoration, you are looking at the wrong place. Same price should get you much more elsewhere.

If you're looking for a timepiece with the ultimate brand & the recognition that comes with it, they're second to none.

This is where I think people get the feeling of "too expensive" or "good deal" from. It's a matter of perspective in my opinion.

commented on Is there a difference between a brand's "history" and its "heritage"? ·

History: Company was formed in 1905 in London by Mr. W & D. Realeased the OP in 1926. Released the S in 1954.

Heritage: First watch on Everest (!!!), first self-winding(!!!!), first dive watch (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Good thing I left the brand name out of this 😀

commented on Do you own a luxury watch ·

(for me) The truth is that if you only wear pieces you like & enjoy, you find yourself enjoying $500 watches as much as you enjoy $50000 watches. The majority of people doesn't take notice unless it's Rolex, AP, PP. I don't think friends would even notice or ask about it if you wore FPJ at a gathering.

I've been through various scales of "expensive" (within my own limits), but the truth is that the monetary value of the watch never really matters.

commented on Is there a watch that you just don't get? ·

Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on them, but I'm not going crazy over them either.

I personally love the work of independents et al, I feel that I get so much more out of my ¥¥ 💰

The nautilus & Daytona. I mean they are great timepieces, but I am having a hard time understanding how they sell at the prices they sell at...so many better choices (for me).
